Katimavic Hoodie

The logo will be engineered with colours to suit a maroon garment. For example, the name will be in white, the background will be removed and their will be changes in the colours of the people and surrounding fauna. We have seen the end result and it really looks good. The hoodie will be maroon only but you can ask for it as a sweat shirt with no hood.

High Rocks outing

Sat, 6 Feb 2010


18 brave souls braved bitterly cold winds Saturday, February 6 for a snowshoe hike to High Rocks over the west end of Elliot Lake. The snow was hard-packed and we had to contend with exposed rocks before reaching the lookout at High Rocks. The view of Elliot and Quimby Lakes made for a nice backdrop for our lunch stop; thereafter we followed animal tracks back to Pipeline Road to end our hike.

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 "New" John lead 6 snowshoers on a trek across Moose Lake, through Moose Lake valley, & all the way to Ouellette Lake. We had lunch on the shore of Ouellette Lake, then we snowshoed across Ouellette Lake to a portage trail that connected to Quirke Lake, then across Quirke Lake to another portage trail that took us back to the Moose Lake area.

Snowshoe Hike to Rochester Creek.
Wed, 3 Feb 2010


Shelly lead 25 snowshoers down to Rochester Creek on Quirke Lk. It was a beautiful day to be out on the trails, somewhat mild, and we were all just soaking up the warmth of the sun. There were different spots where the group spilt up, and went down to the beach to snowshoe along the shoreline of Quirke Lake. After lunch Jean - Guy lead 13 snowshoers for a hike on Quirke Lake, ending at the boat launch. We were treated to the scary, haunting, moaning sounds of the ice moving.

Sheriff Lake cookout

Saturday, 30 Jan. cookout was a resounding success with 28 people coming out for the fun at Sherrif Lake. Liz & I, Gerry, "New" John & Grant were the advance party, trucking in the supplies and cutting wood, getting the fire raging before the main group arrived. We invited the group from Katimavik and they all showed up with many of our membership. We had hotdogs available for the Katimavik group and spares, just in case. Good job we did as we got through about 3 dozen dogs. Hot chocolate was also on and marshmallows and donut holes for desert. Something from all the wrong food groups? After eating we had a tug-of-war on the ice and the green team won after considerable effort. I see, from the photo, that they had 2 more tuggers than the green team??!! It was a great day, no wind, the sun came out for a while and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks to everyone, particularly, Gerry, Grant, Liz, "New"John, Nickie and the young people from Katimavik for making it a great day. Thanks to Pim and Scott for the pictures.
